That might be one of the Hitler Youth daggers that were standard issue for the Hitler Youth uniform.
The Hitler Youth were sort of like the Boy Scouts for Nazi Germany, and had a quite large membership- so there were a lot of those daggers made.
But that's a pure guess, and I'm no expert.

The Youth Daggers were In-scripted but I can't remember all the script. 2 words I do remember were Jungen and Blut. Which mean Young and Blood. Some were also inscribed Blut ad Ehre, Blood and Honor. There was a typical propaganda message on them.

One of my older brothers, Erwin, stole one from somewhere and brought it to America somehow. Kids are tricky!
